20th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
4yo who went close on handicap debut at Ascot (1m7f, good) last March and bounced back from July's flop at Market Rasen to win in fine style at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to firm) four weeks ago; 8lb higher in a better race today but open to further improvement and he's respected. |

11st 11lb |
Appeared unlucky to go down by under a length at Ascot in March (traffic issues), but didn't enjoy himself in the Summer Hurdle on sole start since; still early days in handicaps, and no ground issues. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Lightly raced winning hurdler in France; had a wind operation prior to posting career-best form when a fast-closing second at Ascot in March; up 4lb but has his age allowance now tackling his elders and also the assistance of Harry Cobden. |

11st 10lb |
Gained a first win at Market Rasen (2m) in December for Warren Greatrex; off seven months/had breathing surgery before posting an encouraging second of five for his new yard in 2m1f handicap at Newton Abbot 17 days ago; big shout off an unchanged mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Nearly 6l too good for Mojito Des Mottes in taking a Market Rasen juvenile last December (2m1f, good to soft), but sold out of Warren Greatrex's yard after a moderate handicap debut; this wouldn't be any easier, but no surprise were the wind surgery, tongue tie and/or move to his top new connections to prove transformative. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Juvenile hurdler who had wind surgery prior to justifying favouritism at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) two months ago; considering his Flat mark, he looks well treated in this first crack at a handicap hurdle; highly respected. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Didn't kick on over fences during a light 2025-26 campaign; interesting to see whether the all-the-way tactics of his earlier Newcastle and Hereford non-handicap hurdle wins are reprised with Max Of Stars in opposition. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Bumper and dual hurdles winner; disappointing in last two appearances but may tap back into earlier progress, provided he takes well to chasing; by no means written off. |
7/1 |

21st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice in novice company towards end of last year (2m1f/2m3f) and came second on handicap debut at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in March; disappointed when upped to 2m5f for latest run but may still have potential. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
A three-time 2m hurdles winner last season; back on song when second of three in 2m1f handicap at Sedgefield 22 days ago; not out of things off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 3 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
3lb below last winning mark in October; only real effort of note in five runs after a wind operation was when second on the Flat in June; likely to go from the front. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner; C&D record reads 111244, albeit Arctic Voyage beat her 11l here in July and she finished 27l fourth in this race last year; back on her last winning mark, but vulnerable to less exposed types. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has faced stiff tasks since arriving in Britain but has been disappointing even so and failed to improve for the drop to this level when a remote last of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f) last time; has come a long way down the weights but for good reason; plenty to prove at present. |
14/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Mostly stiff tasks since arrival in Britain but disappointing even so, posing zero threat in the Summer Hurdle latest; hard to entertain despite this easier grade, and winless on sound turf surfaces also. |
20/1 |
|
10th 7 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Useful Flat form in France; after winning a maiden hurdle for Willie Mullins he was essentially disappointing under both codes and has got nothing going for Dan Skelton, with his latest run after wind surgery at Newton Abbot thoroughly underwhelming (8-1 and weak in the betting); very much the stable second string. |
14/1 |
